Background and Personality[]
Infancy (age of mined Ore)
Tetsushura was born to a sickly mother and an unidentified Father an identity known only to the mother Kohaha whom would succumb to illness by the time Tetsushura was 3. With no known immediate family to take him in the young boy was Orohaned and driven to find himself in the streets of Iwagakure. The earliest memories he has are of an initiation beating to join a gang just before his 6th birthday.
Childhood (age of Smelting ore)
Tetsushura had been numb with apathetic resignation to his condition acting as a gang punk expected to take a beating in brawls to warn his keep. However at the age of 8 A significant change would occur as Tetsushura was given a errand to run for a shady figure that would be interrupted by a retired shinobi turned blacksmith for Iwagakure who had subdued the child criminal. Opposed to ruining the young boys life this would set him on a path to finding his purpose as the old retired Shinobi named Nokoribi would make Tetsushura his apprentice in both the forge and world of shinobi. The next near Tetsushura would join the academy while also being put to work assisting in the forges giving him discipline and an outlet that provided structure.
Genin Youth (age of Forged iron)
Tetsushura took to his lessons well Nokoribi provided a father figure to him and implanted an ideal of Tempering of oneself physically and emotionally. this lesson was done by comparing the development of people and metal that is only made useful when worked with c are and controlled skilled effort to be shaped into a useful form. Tetsushura would take these lessons to heart focusing upon developing his body but more so expanding his precision of self control learning that application of strength or chakra with that honed precision was often more valuable than raw excess of strength or chakra itself. However this time of relative happiness was cut short when as a Genin Tetsushura returned from a mission to find Nokoribi had been slain under suspicious circumstances hinting at the involvement of criminal elements wanting to claim his blacksmithing business. This moment would harden the young Genins heart and engrave a deep hatred for lawless activity.
Chunin Teenage Years (age of iron chains)
Discovering his abilities to make use of Steel Release was a surprise moment amid the trials of Tetsushura’s Chunin exam where he learned to push his tactic of endurance and precision use of chakra controlled counter assaults lead him to success. At 16 years old he was proving a capable shinobi of Iwagakure and further the application of his iron release techniques with a fighting style meant to invoke demoralizing war dancing to use precise control of chain weapons as part of his taijutsu. As he developed a reputation he was give. The opportunity to learn and incorporate the light weight and heavy weight stone techniques which he swiftly adapted into a brutal martial art.
Adulthood (age of steel chains)
Tetsushura has prided himself as a well shaped and tempered tool of Iwagakure hoping to honor Nokoribi and his ideals with honing himself like a well edged weapon and would often request to be sent on assignments that dealt with criminal or underworld elements. For dedicated service Tetsushura had been granted access to scrolls detailing the art of the Fission technique as a gift marking his ascension to the rank Jonin. Tetsushura took to this art remarkably well developing his chain dance war martial art to now take advantage of stances untethered to human biological limits. The Missions he was sent on were cold ruthless and without mercy. His pitiless manner and inhuman appearance with many arms a body seemingly of metal and chains that danced Ina. Deadly display is where he earned his moniker ‘Iron Chain Asura’
Abilities[]
- Ninjutsu:
An essential element to Tetsushura’s style as he uses honed and dedicated chakra control to make ample use of the compelex Jutsu’s needed to maintain his unorthodox method of fighting. Encompassing the release of armoring his flesh with steel release and then altering his weight he uses practiced methodology rather than any true genius years of repetition of use has lead to clever combinations of using these techniques for clever combos particularly in taking advantage of momentum and alteration of his mass to magnify impact at key moments of a fight.
Gekigan-Jutsu
The core basis of Tetsushura’s martial art developed during his years as a Chunin to add a further element of precise control to his taijutsu allowing him to surprise foes by extending the reach of punches or even increasing the impact by having his own blows accompanied by my secondary chains strikes or turning simple hits into grapple and entanglement opportunities. The variety of chains of different types adds to the complexity of the ‘war dance’ stance that he uses to maximize the practiced use of various stances and strike combinations and thus is highly effective in wide open areas with minimal restriction to the path of his chain sweeps or whipping motions. This can be expanded upon by using his fusion teycnbique to either create multiple dancers whose chain sweeps overlap narrowly or by increasing the number of attacks occurring in tandem by growing more limbs to increase the complexity of the dance.
Fuinjutsu
A handy talent useful to expand and make use of Tersushura’s exceptional chakra control extending that beyond just his body but infusing it into the tools at his disposal befitting a man who has started his path as a Blcksmith’s apprentice. Though far from a master in this art Tetsushura has made the most of his techniques to infused command of the weight of thrown weapons and his chains using basic seals compliant with his command to act when timing is most crucial.
